A home volleyball match against the visiting Alberton Panthers on Friday, Sept. 23 demonstrated a shining lesson in compassion and sportsmanship to the young ladies from the Clark Fork Valley.

Every time the Red Cross shows up in Lincoln for their blood drives, they know they'll be seeing Rich Paul and his trusty four-legged sidekick Whiskey. Last month, ABC Fox Montana Producer Joee Taylor came to Lincoln to interview Paul during the Red Cross Blood Drive at the Lincoln Community Hall after he was selected as their August Good Samaritan for his dedication to blood donation.
